Abstract

A method and system for remotely monitoring intoxication of a user, including: detecting a vehicle-user interaction; prompting the user to provide a breath sample, in response to detecting the vehicle-user interaction; transmitting a breath sample signal, derived from reception of the breath sample from the user, to a mobile computing device; determining a value of an intoxication metric for the user based upon the breath sample signal; and based upon the value of the intoxication metric, performing an action to deter operation of the vehicle by the user.

Claims (11)

1 . A method for remotely monitoring intoxication of a user, comprising:

receiving an output, indicative of a vehicle-user interaction, from a diagnostic module electrically coupled to a vehicle;

determining a user characteristic of the user in response to receiving the output;

in response to determining the user characteristic, determining that the user characteristic satisfies a testing condition;

in response to determination that the user characteristic satisfies the testing condition, prompting the user, at an application executing on a mobile computing device associated with the user, to provide a breath sample;

at a breath sample acquisition device in communication with the mobile computing device:

receiving a breath sample from the user, and

transmitting a breath sample signal derived from the breath sample to the mobile computing device;

at a processing system in communication with the mobile computing device, receiving the breath sample signal;

generating an intoxication assessment of the user, based on the breath sample signal; and
